Letter from the President

In the 25 years I have been evaluating health equity and community development initiatives, I have never been as enthusiastic as I am today about the opportunities for innovation in the field. We at Abundantia are excited about the potential offered by emerging methodologies and new technology, and about our role in applying them in ways that will help our clients define their objectives and measure their results.

Over the years, we have built strong relationships with our clients, which include private philanthropy, non-governmental organizations, and public agencies. Our successes in building these relationships are a tribute to our team. They bring an extraordinary range of education and experience to our work, and their geographical and cultural diversity are enormous assets. Abundantia's team shares a commitment to transparency, inclusiveness, and accessibility to information—all hallmarks of a strong civil society.

In addition, we have developed partnerships with a range of contributors who lend their imagination, creativity, and expertise to our effort. Our strategies are particularly useful in low-resource settings and with limited literacy populations. We are well positioned to provide rapid and accessible approaches to evaluation design and learning, specifically in evaluating migration & health, the environment, and community mobilization initiatives.

We utilize various social science research methods, including ethnography, community assessments, focus groups, policy analyses, surveys, and visual arts. Additionally, we have had success using a variety of other formats, including our web-based systems, to obtain information, illustrate it, and make it accessible. These approaches are becoming standard tools for our clients.
